On the 30th Zhang went to the village of Liuyiwu, Jinping town to learn about SAFEA’s poverty alleviation project -- a demonstration base for promoting high-quality hybrid citrus. Zhang asked about the growth conditions of the fruit and the economic benefits.

With the support of SAFEA, the project was successfully carried out with nearly 824 acres in Liuyiwu, Xincun, Qingnian and Gonghe villages of Jinping town, becoming one of the pillar industries of Pingshan county.

The project has helped 1,465 people from 326 households in the Liuyiwu village to increase their incomes. Zhang said that SAFEA will continue to support this project and help solve problems encountered in its industrialization.

Zhang spoke highly of the effective role played by these projects in optimizing the agricultural industrial structure in Pingshan county and advancing efforts to eliminate poverty.
